Stanton w. saltzman art and production advisor: larry glazer medical communications staff: otto c. lehmann In this day of evaluation of priorities, it is impossible to rationalize the production of a self-glorifying volume such as a yearbook typically is. Monies have been allocated in the name of public relations. And perhaps that is irony, for with this edition, more was attempted: to express concern and to comment about our training, our existence, and ourselves. We have restricted ourselves to the media of black and white, available light, 35 mm photography (with a few exceptions)—we feel the simplicity of this format serves our purpose best. The camera tells it like it is, and, with the exception of technical imperfections, we make no apologies for the appearance of anything or anyone. This is the way it was and—too often—still is. Limited by a self imposed requirement to include as nearly everyone involved as possible, we were at times forced to substitute content for quality of photograph. If anyone has been omitted, it was not with intent. The content and design of this book were originated and produced by the collective efforts of the staff. Steve and Zella Ludwig gave up much non-free time to tend to the tedious work of balancing the books. Dick Menin edited and with Larry Kramer, Bill Dinerman, and Dick Spaulding took the quality photographs so necessary for this undertaking. With only the help of a few rap sessions, and very few marks of the editor's pen, every word of copy was originated by Steve Peitzman. Dr. Fred Rogers contributed many useful suggestions and added an air of authenticity as overseer of literary efforts. The layout reflects the inspiration and creative sense of design of my wife, Sandy. And lastly, we extend our appreciation to Judy Glazer for giving up her husband, Larry, on Monday nights, so that he could aid us in tending the drawing board. bill verzyl hank bacich lynn kirk lana micenec paula lickman

May 27, 1971 To The Class of 1971: You have had the opportunity to attend Temple Medical School during a period of very rapid growth and great change. New personnel and programs have appeared and old ones have been altered and expanded. You have been a part of these developments and of the evolution of institutional programs to meet the new challenges of a rapidly changing society. It has, and will be for some time to come, a period of tensions. The development of new national and institutional policies at such a time requires an acceleration of the normal evolutionary process. This will always be too slow for some and too rapid for others. It is my personal conviction that the educational process is dependent more on the total environment than on any of the component parts and that individuals will react differently for different reasons. 1 hope that each of you have grasped enough of the total experience to give you a better understanding of human behavior and social interaction. I know you are prepared to continue your education, adapt to a changing society, and meet the challenges the future will bring. It will not be easy to find how you, as an individual physician, can best contribute to the development of a healthier, happier society. William P. Barba, II, M.D. Acting Dean WPBimwm
